" " November, 1963
Dear Comrade Wells,
T am writing to you with a request for an article for our journal on the subject "Freudism, Its Social Meaning and Purpose".
We would greatly appreciate it if the article were written with an eye to the popular character of the journal, with emphasis on the social aspects of the theory of psychoanalysis, the negative influence of Freudism on some sections of the bourgeois intelligentsia, the spheres of its activity -- literature, art, science, etc. It would, of course, also be highly interesting to show how contempor- ary Freudism is exploited in the sphere of politics (in particular when explaining social behaviour, etc.).
We would very much like to have the article as soon as possible, say in the course of January, 1964.
Please let us know your views regerding the subject and also the dateline. :
Yours sincerely,
A. Sobolyev

From informant's conversations with officials of the CPSU, informant furnished the following information relative to the analysis . of Soviet officials to the assassination,
The Soviet Union actually believes that there is some large well-organized conspiracy on the part of the ultraright in the U,S, to effect a coup. They were convinced that the assassination was not the deed of one man but that it arose out of carefully planned campaign in which several people had a part, Ponomarev noted that those elements interested in utilizing the assassination and playing on anticommunist sentinent in the U.S, would then utilize this act to stop negotiations with the Soviet Union; attack Cuba, and thereafter spread the war. As a result of these feelings on the part of Soviet officials, the USSR immediately’went into a state of national alert. They were fearful that without leadership some irresponsible general might launch a missile at the Soviet Union, It was the further opinion of Soviet officials that only maniacs would think that the left forces in the U.S. represented by the CPUSA would assassinate President Kennedy in view of all the abuse
peaceful coexistence and disarmament. However, with the passage of time and with the assurances received from President Johnson, these fears of
tion was the work of an ultraright conspiracy, , me ον τε εν σ᾽ eee ge - ——
Relative to Lee Harvey Oswald, “the Soviets disclaim any con- nection with him whatsoever, Ponomarev described Oswald as a neurotic maniac who was disloyal to his own country and everything else, He stated Oswald thought he had a "soft touch" in the USSR and wanted to stay, The Soviets believed he might have ideological motivations and permitted him to stay, Oswald scon found it was not a “soft touch" and wanted to go home, The Soviets permitted him to leave and said "good
On 11/26/63, Ponomarey informed CG 5824-S* that the CPSU was preparing to turn over to the U,;S, its entire file on Oswaid and that the content of this file would prove their contention that Oswald was no responsibility of theirs. Ponomarev wanted this fact communicated to the CPUSA so that they would know that the CPSU was cooperating with the U.S, Government and that. this would be beneficial to the CPUSA.

‘December 11, 1963 SINO-SOVIET RELATIONS a Ὁ, Current Status of Sino-Soviet Differences NA ~
In mid-November, 1963, Boris N, Ponomarev, Heat οὗ the International Department, Central Comittee, Communist τ Party of the Soviet Union, gave on behalf of the Central EA Comnittee, Communist Party of the Soviet Union, 2 report ὦ ὦ» dealing with the current status of Sino-Soviet differences. The essence of Ponomarev's remarks is as follows,
Although some efforts are being made to improve relations, it is highly unlikely that any complete agreement wili be reached. The Communist Party of China has just pub- lished another book, “Lines of War and Peace," which is dianetrically opposed to the Soviets' concepts of interna- tional developments as related to peaceful coexistence and disarmanent,.
The strategic plan of the Communist Party of China is to split 411 fraternal parties. and establish parties under - ‘its own Icadership. The Communist Party of China is endeavor~ ing to accomplish ‘this: by splitting off from five to ten people from each fraternal party. and thereafter recognizing this splinter group as 2 bona fide Communist Party. The Com- munist Party of China has already taken this action in Brazil, Chile, Belgium, Switzerland and other countries, In the event an international conference of all fraternal parties is called, the Communist Party of China will undoubtedly argue that these smali splinter groups represent the real Communist Party of the country involved. . At the same time, the Communist Party of China is establishing closer relations with capitalist countries. This is happening in Japan, England, France and West Germany. Some United States interests ere also establishing closer ties with the Chinese through establishments in Japan which are negotiat~ ing with the Chinese seeking to sell complete factories that originate in the United States.

_ Shipment of Arms by Communist. China to Ira ;
Bhen the Baathist regime recently came inte power in Iraq, it began to pursue the war against the Kurds, a result, the Soviet Union stopped furnishing to Iraq mate~ rials for the use of the military forces of Irag. The Soviets believed that this would have the effect of slowing down the war in Kurdistan, However, shortly thereafter, the Baathist regine accepted an offer of armaments from Communist China,
The Chinese had on hand 2 supply of obsolete Soviet arns which had beon subsequently replaced by newer weapons purchased primarily from Great Britain, The Chinese sent their obsolete armaments, which bore Soviet markings, to kraq
The Soviet Union considered this an act of provoce~

During. mid-November, 1963,. Vital¥ Korianov, ΡΣ : Deputy to Boris: N. Ponomarev; a member of the | Secretariat escent and Head of ‘the International_D epartment., _Central_Committées—> Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) , met with a repre- sentative of the Communis arty, USA. (ΟΡ, USA)..for. the .pur--- -᾿ ‘pose of general discussion “and 2 ‘limited briefing, on matters pertaining to Soviet-Sino differences... The. essence .of some of Korianov's remarks at this: time. is as: follows:.
πῃ CP, USA should ‘understand that it will know: the day that any letter ‘is: sent to the Communist Party -of China (CPC) suggesting a resumption of bilateral talks between the CPC and ourselves, That you will be notified, you can rest assured. They, the,CPC, as you know, asked to recess the meetings of July and. since that time have. used no initiative. to reconvene then. We will ‘give them a. hint: that we are ready to resume discussions and will base our- selves on the 1960 statement -of the 81-Party Conference, Let then, if ‘they desire interpret this as a weakness,. but we shall not give them the opportunity to say: that we prevented such discussions.

BRIEFING DISCUSSION BY VITALY KORIANOV, DEPUTY τὸς speger TO HEAD OF INTERNATIONAL.DEPARTMENT, CENTRAL.
COMMITTEE, COMMUNIST PARTY OF THE SOVIET UNION,

é "You should also note that we are considering the preparation of another confidential letter to the fraternal Parties on this matter of our differences with the CPC. When this letter comes in, it will be based on the 1960 statement where it was agreed by all in writing that there should be no friction among the Parties.
"When we suggested the stopping of polemics, we also suggested that they, the Chinese, similarly discontinue. However, if they continue and attack other. Parties--violate the rights of these Parties--there can be no objection on our part to such Parties, resuming the polemics nor obligation on their part to discontinue’ such polemics.
"Recently the. 'Australia .Herald'.in. one of its. editions of November, 1963 ,? carried an interview with CHEN Yi, Foreign Minister of the Peoples ‘Republic of China (PRC). ‘CHEN: ΧᾺ is: -the: most -outspoken,-anti- Soviet. of the Chinese _ leadership today. All‘of his moods are anti-Soviet. The interview reflected that -someone-. had. asked. him_if it was not true that the Soviets were committed to defend the PRC. In response to this question, CHEN Yi said that the talk οδ΄ the Soviet Union defending China is a lot of nonsense, the Soviet Union cannot defend anyone; Thisis: why there can not be any coexistence. On, the test ‘ban treaty, CHEN Yi, in this sarieinterview, stated that it.was a conspiracy against China. Britain: liad>.joined in with this conspiracy and what it amounted to: was three ‘powers playing poker and each allowing the other to look at its cards, and China was not even allowed to play.
"In West Germany there is the government organization known as Organization for Defense of the Constitution, the West German version of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. This organization has been discussing for a. long time what their attitude should be on Chinese printed matter coming into West Germany. That agency has now finally come to the ‘conclusion that-they-will now help. -circulate. this:.Chinese_

BRIEFING DISCUSSION BY VITALY KORIANOV, DEPUTY tye sBpatr TO HEAD OF INTERNATIONAL DEPARTHENT, ‘CENTRAL, COMMITTEE, COMMUNIST PARTY OF THE SOVIET UNION,
‘NOVEMBER, 1963
"A few weeks ago I was in Algeria as part of an ffi delegation. We were there as guests of Premier
Ahme@iBen Bella anid the Republic of Algeria. a
“-
"It appears that the big problem there is the getting of one Party together. The CP has not been illegalized and no one has been arrested. The newspaper in Algeria with the largest circulation, ‘Alger Republicain, ' is the CP publication. The problem originated over the fact that the communists in Algeria, had originally been against Ahmed Ben Bella's fight in Algéria and this has not been forgotten by the- National Front of Liberation (FLN). Yet, the FLN does not oppose the CP, If. the CP members.want to be a part of the FLN, they can but they cannot act inde-= pendently. The CP, however, does want to act, independently and this is the problen.
_ ."The. Algerian. revolution_is_at..a.lower_ stage than
“the | Cuban revolution. in Cuba there is already a group of
revolutionaries like Fidel Castro, Raul Castro, and Osvaldo Dorticos, ‘In Algeria it is different. Premier Ahmed Ben Bella is not a Fidel Castro in makeup or in leadership. qualities and is not surrounded by revolutionaries. Yet,
we must say that.Algeria is one of the most promising areas in Africa. Among the objective factors creating this situa- tion are the following:
"Independence was secured after nine and one-half years of fighting. The country is rich in ‘natural resources and already has a developed agriculture, ‘The French fled the country , in the real sense of the word, and the OAS has left in total. The bulk of the French, including the reactionary part of the Algerian society, swhosfled the country left behind their private property. Then, the youth is emerging into the new leadership and women are appearing in the leadership for the first tine. -
"From this, we can conclude that the révolution ih
Algeria 15. -developing- in--depth--and-width. and- in addition_they..—-. .
are working under the slogan of socialism."

- . fin os ; During November, 1963, Nathan Gregory Silvermaster,.
a United States citizen, was visiting in Moscow, USSR,. on 2 tourist visa, While in Moscow, Silvermaster made an ἃ Attempt
to. arrange an appointment and hoid some discussion with responsible. individuals in the Corinunist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU). However, such officials would not méet with
him or even. acknowledge his presence in M w. In view. of
this, Silvermaster made contact with Henry/Winston, a Vice ΝΞ Ξ Chairnia Communist Party.,--USA.-(CP; -USA); who is now temporarily residing in the Soviet Union, for the purpose ἀξέξτης of seeing whether that individual could utilize his influence. in. setting up a néeting ‘with ΟΡ. representatives for him.
; Winston did attempt to ‘set up such a meeting for Silvernaster
but met with no success and, as a result, was’ greatly per- turbed. In Winston" 5 opinion, here was a MAD, Silvermaster, who had devoted much of ‘his. life to the Party and now could not even see a responsible CPSU ‘representative when he visited Mescow..

REORGANIZATION OF THE COUNCIL ᾿ OF MUTUAL ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE
During early December, 1963, a Source, who has furnished reliable information in the past, advised as follows:
χ. During November, 1963, it Wapckwarned that the
/ Council of Mutual Economic Assistance” {COHMECON) is being 2, cs reorganized in such a manner that participants in this a organization for economic coopereration among the socialist countries will be grouped according to their respective industrial levels. According to representatives of the - International Departments of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU), and the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia (CPCZ), the purpose of this reorganization 15. so that those countries who have reached an industrial level near that. of the Soviet Union can cooperate on more of the same level so that they do not lose ground by reason of their cooperation with the less developed socialist countries, According to these representatives of the CPSU and CPCZ, Czechoslovakia, the German Democratic Republic and Poland have reached such a level of production. and trade where they can really cooperate with the Soviet Union in their integrated economic plans, It would appear that the Soviet Union has given up the idea that all socialist countries will catch up to the Soviet Union in industrial capacity at the same time.

HALL stated that during this very serious period following the assassination of President KENNEDY, the thinking of the people, including the government officials, was that the Communists are not a dangerous, anarchistic, violent group.
As proof of this, he pointed to the fact that, whereas the Trotskyite offices in NYC and the pro-Castro headquarters in parc were well guarded at that time by the police, the CPUSA _ headquarters was not guarded by the police. He stated that the

cd to the Party has changed and : such current thinking is undoubtedly due to the "correct Line" which the Party has pursued in the past few years.
HALL further stated that, with te exception of the "NY Daily News" that. editorially called for violence against the Communists; no other newspapers throughout, the. country attacked. Communists as having been instrumental. in the “assassination of President KENNEDY.

2) It σοῦ to ὦ that anotkor concrete question that could yory well bo considered by tho Party xvolatog τὰ tho strugglo of tho Negro poople.
I kayo in mind of ombhasising πον the sloran of Representative Govern=ent. This slogan has cgoreral validity but has αὶ special moaning whon applicd to tho South, The slogan of Representative Govornaént quite unlike fhe slogan of Colf-Daterninatioa, does not nevossarily raiso the question of chanzing tho polit- ical structura (this slogan would, howoyer, Includg. tho fight against Jorry~mandoring).. The slogan of folf-Poterninaticn raised tho slogan of tha political unity ef the black belts This slogan dees not. ff sharply raicos tha question of equal roprecentation of Kogroos in the city, county, state and Fodoral ecvyorn=aont. This moans olected ard appointed rop- rocentatives. Tho slogan Roprocsontative Governmont ἂρ a fighting domocratic slogan which can unite the popular macs, Negro: and white, in the fight against - Dixiccratiga. Tho fight against Dixiocratica that
is white cunpromacist rule, rdans a fixm domocratic ftoat against tho unjust laws, statutes and ordinances which is exprossiyo of tho main content of the fight nov boing waged in tho South for tho right to vota.,- It is a sldgan designed to yally as. active allics denocratic. forces among ‘tha white maisces, noutralisa- tion of othex sections in advancing tho fight and - completely putting to rout the most rabid white sup~ remicléts. Thig moans as the Decérbor 1962 Loclara~ tion of tha Party puts it, to develop the fight for this slogan af part and parcdl of a gonoral crusade for domotracy in the South and in the country as a whole. Sido by pido with this « positive approach should bo taken to enforce tho 4th areondment to the
ες Corastitution. It would he oxtremoly useful if sexo
Congrogszian ox some DSomator could, ὁπ the floor of
tho Douse or tha fonatd propose a redolution to uncoat. every singlo Dixiccrat, bocauso thoy occupy theso seats illegally. It would be ΠΟΣῚ to invostigate whothor legal actica against puch mon in the Senate and Louse can ke taken daly by theso bodies. Layho somo othor Jegal forrs of action could bo instituted through
tho courts, (I havo πον heard of it) and if this
ig possible, should ‘bo doe. Eut in any casa ἃ, ra- Solution or a speoch on this specific question could boceso a. tromondous. inspiration to thoce forced that

inspiring the world. Qur Party should advanced this . slogan £9 thaf the ἐπα movenent will be able to more
clearly geo the rdle of our Party and draw furthor conclusions about that. .
"Lastly, aron't thore any possibilities of taking a Federal action to reenforce the macs actions of the Hogro pedple to guarantce that the year 1094 bring about a doubling of the Negro registration,
The perspective beens to ba very low but I an afraid tsat thig kay be cud to an idea that the possibility of comelliny Foddial cupport is not fully ceon. For oxampic, thore la ποῦ a single Negro (except Goorgia) elected to the gtata cr Feesrai Jogisigtiva Kedics fron the Couth. The truth io that Nesxxvo Congressmen come only fron Los Anyoles, Chicago, Phitjaceipiia, . Rotroit, Now York, (Shere arg no Conztors). Tha Tack of Kegro ropresentation is-a national and intornatioagh disgrace, Showld thoro not bd in 1054 a break-through on thid tuestion? That is, an inercase of Nox tiers representation and on tho bagis of a concontration policy once nore have Negro xsoprosoatativos fron tho South. Tho fact that the majority of the Nogro people now live in urban communitics and the fact that thd cAyil rights rovolution tdok place fa the citics, | north and south, ἰοὺς itself to grext pocalbilities for unfolding 2 maxinun driye to Literoage Uegro regis- tration and simaltancously wag¢ the fight for the nomination of Nocrees in the Compcratic prinarics, It xray be possible to solect a fow cities fox coacon- tration where the full potential of all allics in tho democratic fight can hd brought into pisy and holp rake the beginning.

Subject: COHHUNEST PARTY OF FRANCE XNTERNAL SECURITY - TRANCE
The following information was supplied by sources which have furnished reliabie information in the past,
There is presently a serious interned struggle taking place within the Communist Party (CP) of France, This is due to the fact that Maurice Thorez, General Secretary of the CP of France, and his wife, who. control the Party's leadership, refuse to allow any youth to move into leading positions within the Party. In addition, there is consider~—
| able resentment within the Party over the fact that while
' the French CP supports the policies of the CP of the Soviet. Union, it does not get the same “interfiational play" in this regard as does the Italian CP,
There has also been a severe internal struggle . taking place in Prague, Czechoslovakia, at the headquarters of the "Yorld Marxist Review,"' the international theoretical organ of the world communist. movement, between representatives of the CP of France and the CP of Italy, The differences hove arisen over the fact that the French CP opposes, and the Italian CP supports, in part, some of the actions of the Common Market. The differences are also based on the fact that the Italian Party pursues a policy of utilizing “flexible _ tactics" whereas the French CP does not. As a result, the Italian CP has Labeled. the French cP 2s "Stalinists,".

I want, to take this opportunity to express our deep appreciation to the very correct and timely lead you gave in your reactions
to the events during the critical days we have just passed. ~ There did exist a very real and ἃ critical danger that the vreac- tionary forces would be able to initiate and enflame an anti- Communist hysteria after the dastardly assassination of President Kennedy, There were important forces that did everything to
take advantage of the assassination to create such a hysteria, For the time being we have been able to block this development, Your timely and prompt reaction was very helpful in holding back

is unpredictable, but we do have some basis of judging the pos-~ sible course of this Administration. It is our view that Presi- dent Johnson has been in that section of our political spectrum Ἐ- that takes a more sane view of the relationship of world forces ~' and will reflect this in his policies and attitudes. It is 4150, our feeling that he may be even more responsive to the povements;" ~ ~ pressures and moods of the masses than was Kennedy. (\ ἡ -
Johnson is a mman who has less of an eye for history and “Long~range viewpoints and is more moved towards the solution of the immediate
problems and questions on hand. (®

But one cannot compare him with O(u) Truman, had the mentality and outlook of a villagé political hack, while Jchnson has a much broader viewpoint of political struggles. Johnson has retained throughout the years a close personal friendship with

aus OF CUBAN-SOVIET RELATIONS
¥ During December, 1963, a source, who has furnished rediable information in the past, advised as follows:
During the course of confidential discussions in November, 1963, with representatives of the Central Committee, /Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU), it was learned that the CPSU is very disturbed with the behavior of Fidel astro of, Cuba. The CPSU believes that Castro had been com- pletely wrong in not accepting the offer of aid from the United States and the American Red Cross immediately after the recent hurricane which devastated Cuba. Later Cuba was made to look foolish in the eyes of the world when they admitted four Quakers for the purpose of furnishing aid to the ‘Cuban people,
According to this source, there are no good words for Cuba among the leadership of the CPSU, However, diplomatically the USSR cannot cease their assistance to the Cuban regime, much as. they disagree with Castro, Nevertheless, among the Soviet people as a whole there is a great deal of sympathy for Cuba which is ἃ result of Soviet Government sponsored demonst ations. In the USSR there are regularly
held-WEvenings of in American Solidarity," at which support | - is stressed-for-bett in~American-coumtries “oppressed by United States imperialism," These demonstrations are tin
American solidarity. in -<enet: ‘rather than for any one country and they do not endorse concrete acts of particular Latin American Communist Parties,
It is the assessment of the CPSU leadership that at the time of the revolution, the Cuban CP was not a real Marxist-Leninist party strong enough to seize the opportune
f automatic and
[πᾷ Senay
moment and take over the governing power of Cuba, Now the USSR has been placed in the position where they have to ‘tworship Fidel" in order to retain any position at all in Cuba, .

The CPUSA would like to haye something to say with respect to the
advisability of any individuals going to Moscow to study and the Soviets are too lax with respect. to allowing "all. kinds of persons
go to Moscow," If at the time Oswald went to Moscow the CPUSA had been advised in advance of his contemplated travel, the Soviets might have been advised-as a result of CPUSA investigation that Oswald was not the type of person to invite to Moscow, Hall expressed the opinion that at the time Oswald went to Moscow, the latter was operating in behalf of the FBI.

RILY RESIDING MOSCOW, USSR
- 7 i fc τ In early December, 1963, a source, who has - nished reliable information in the past, advised as follows:
Henry Winston, a Vice Chairman, Communist Party, USA (CP, USA), who now is temporarily residing in Moscov, USSR, has made plans to travel to the German Democratic Republic (GDR) in early December, 1963. In the GDR, Winston intends to make contact with Paul Robeson, Sr., who is now in a Sanitarium near Berlin. It is also possible that while in the GDR Winston may attend an assembly.sponsoned—by—the_ Socialist Unity Party _of.Germany (SUPG) which was scheduled to commence on December 8, 1963.
After completion of his visit to the GDR, Winston will travel to Prague, Czechoslovakia, where he will be the guest of the "World Marxist Review," official theoretical organ of the international communist movement. In Prague, Czechoslovakia, Winston, with the aid of the staff members of the “World Marxist Review,” will prepare an article for publication in ἢ the ἢ magazine entitled, "National Independence, U.S. Imperialism and” “Neo-Colonialism."_ The "World Marxist Review" already has assigned research people to this matter-—— and in fact Winston's only task will be generally to review
the material and have it placed in proper order for publica- tion,
As of late November, 1963, Winston planned that he would be finished with. his work in Prague and be back in Moscow by the New Year holiday, 1964.

with Boris N. Ponomarev, a member of the Secretariat and head of the International Department, CCGCPSU. . According to Ponomarev » the .entire. situation, of relations between |
‘the Soviet Union and the United States.had changed as a
result of the assassination of President Kennedy and the policies of the CPSU and the -CPUSA had to be completely Ὁ redefined. Ponomarev's immediate and chief concern was
what kind of a man is. the new President of the United States, Lyndon ΒΒ. Johnson. He expressed concern as to whether Johnson would be able to carry through any. policies which might depart radically from the policies of President Kennedy. A prime
worry was. that. Johnson might enbarn . on .<*some adventurous ‘poltey and make concessions ‘to this” vultra-right group which | had assassinated Kenniedy:. .

4 Calling attention, τὸ the “statement concerning the . assassination which was issued by Fidel Castro of Cuba; Ponoriarev observed that even if the CPSU does not agree
with some parts of this statement, in the main, 1t is copreét.. Calling attention to the anti-Kenhedy tone of the statement issued by the People's Republic of China on this matter, Poriomarev. observed that the Pedple's Republic of China (PRG) |
- publications had carried the most eontemptuous stories and
cartoons. Specifically, he inehtLoned a cartoon showing ©
’ Kennedy falling head first onte the ground, bearing the
caption to the effect, "So another ore hit the dust" and stated that this is beneath contempt but that nothing better can -be expected from the; Chinese, ~ ;
.
turning to the effect of the assassination--upon
the CPUSA, Ponomarev indicated that it was. his opinion that
the CPUSA may face some serious. trouble as.a result. He observed that the United States press is trying to connect Lee Harvey Oswald, who was-arrested for the assassination, | with the Fair Play for Cuba Committee, with Marxists, and.
May even say Oswald was a communist. In his opinion, there

it is important that the CPUSA do evérything possible to find ways to fight back against this anti-Party., anti~ Soviety anti-Cuban campaign,
‘Recalling that on Novenber θὲ, 1963, there appeared - . in the United States press a statement issued by the United States State Department that the assassination was in no way connected with any foreign government, althotgh this statement was. buried in the back pages of the newspapér, Ponomarev stated that no matter how little attention it received, it was important that the United States Government made such a statement.
Ponomarév opserved that when President Kennedy: Was assassinated, it. must have: been clear for 811 to ‘see ahd the. entiré world must. know that he was killed by some reactionary maniac and not by communists, ‘Only maniacs would think that the left forces: in the United States as represented: by: the.

‘left asa result of theix support of thé Kennedy policiés of
péaceful coexistencé and disarmament. Pdnomarev aésérted._
‘that the assassination of Président Kenhedy was evidently —
caused by those circles whe are: against the easing of tensions in the world and who are against peace and disarmament. He stated that. the Soviet Government is convinced that the ultra- right had a-hand in the assassination. He observed that
at first it was possible to assume that there would be a
waye. of révulsion agairist the uitra-right but then it became apparent that the Dallas, Texas, Polieé Department was cooperating with the very same people who killed Kennedy:
and possibly the same is true even of the! FBI.
Pononiarev raised the question: whether it is
possible to turn the tide against the ultra-right in
the United States today. He commented favorably upon the fact that the GPUSA has made a ‘major. contribution over the -
past few years in taking the. tead in ‘denouncing’ the dangers
from the ultra-rignt .

Ponomarev was incredulous and was completely: puzzled as to the motivation behind the slaying of Lee. Harvey Oswald. He could not understand why it. was done but expressed the opinion. that Oswald was alain because . the legal authorities had fio“case against him. What he could not ‘understand. in- regard to Oswald was why he was killed. since thus: was destroyed the only evidence the authorities had.
Turning his. attention to the investigation Anta
the assassination of thé President and the slaying of Oswald, Ponomarex. wondered aloud whether the bloca relationship to. ' . the’ President of Robert Kehnedy, the Attorney General of the
“United States, would lead him to take a genuine interest in - the, investigation, . Ponomarey expressed some doubts whether _ there are forces in the United States who ‘are .really interested in such an investigation, However; if there are, it would Be possible for left forces to deliver a real blow against, reactionaries and war mongers. ‘He stated that it must be understood by 811, even those who do not understand: juris- prudence, that: the police were inyolvéd in this whole thing. He expressed the hope that there are trade- union forces in the United States that will be wikling to, show after. ‘the - investigation. that the altra-right. was really responsible, ΝῊ in the last. analysis, for this: crime. poe

‘ According to Ponomarev, 16 18 very important now for the CPUSA to mobilize all its forces, to point to the ultra-right,. and to show the coniiection between, the ultra- right and the a4ssassination of the Presidents, if not in fact, at least that the actions of the ultra-right do lead to violencé ahd assassination. He noted that if the CPUSA -Gan take thé lead in this, it would be very ood. Ifa united front can be developed on these issues;. espectally for peace, ἀ would involve many eTements not limited to progressives and this also would be good, Contacts among the people working -in peace organizations should be made, -even if they are not communists, to show them the sertorisness of the situation.

impulses of the people. An effort must be made to locate a
Senator who éduld take the lead to. prévent a cover-up of
this dastardly crime. A motion must be made in Congreés to set up a committee to investigate and get all the facts. Ponomarey expressed uncertainty as to whether or not Oswald wag actually the killer. He observed that this cace is not precisely like the case of Vanderlubbe because the Nazis
saved. the life of Vanderlubbe; put hin up on the stand as ἃ Witness,-and fhen later exectited him for the crime; but. in
‘this’ cabe the forces behind the assassination killed Oswald and destroyéd the only evidence they had, Acéording to Pononarev; Jack Ruby was obviously told to commit this Ὁ
tiurder of Oswald and Ponomarev described Ruby as "this cheap cabaret owner with. Chicago hoodium connections.”
Returning to the subject of the late President Kennedy,, Ponomareyv. Observed that during the Presidency of . John Ἐς “Kennedy, he “won the, sympathy of. the Soviet people... During that fine, both governments had a great deal of” contact and. were abie to sit down and talk. Even if they, did not_solve all of their problems, they,were able to trys ,
Kennedy 8 assassination has created a serious situation for
the Soviets; for the United States, and for the entire world. ‘Ponomarev: exclaimed that he just cannot understand why the. United States has not passed a Jaw to keep people like . Oswald from gétting guns.. In obvious agitation, Ponomarey _ expressed his perplexity, stating, "I can't ‘understand: it...
DeGaulie gets away-with it ‘but how could this happen in a
country like the United States where there is an orderly transition of government. If this had happened in Latin America , We ‘could understand it but not in the United States."
Ponomarev: then turned to the question of the correct: ‘tactile for the GPUSA.. He said the task is to

~ ‘Ponomarey expressed. the hope: that President Johnson would continue Tike President. Kennedy. to attempt to reach some - . *
Nevertheless, the CPUSA must mobilize opinion against
the ultra-right because he will be under severe pressure.

On the basis of the CPUSA correct policy, the effort must be tiade to see if even President Johnson can be ‘pressured

Quoting extensively from this file, Ponomarev disclaimed, any . connection whatsoever bétween. Oswald and the USSR. Ponomarey described him as a "no good, neurotic Maniac, Gigloyal to | _ ‘his own country and: everything else,” Reading from the file, Ponomarey descfibed how Oswald had requested to be allowed to live in the: Soviet Union. | The Soviets; believing that ' he might ‘be idedlogically motivated, allowed him‘ to abay -and dent him to work in Minsk, the. administrative capital of the Republic of Byelorussia, wheré he subsequently married a Russian girl, He thought he would have a soft touch in the “Soviet Union but when he found it was not a soft touch, ‘he wanted. to’ go μόδα. _Thérefore, they said to Oswald, "Goodbye" and "Good riddance." Subsequently he expressed his desire to return to the. ‘Soviet, Union. He. went to the USSR Embassy, and

᾿ Ponomarev advised that the USSR was then preparing 4o turn over their entire file concerning Oswald to the | _government of the United States. This was being done in order “to prove to the United States that Oswald. had no: connection. qhatsoever with the USSR.» It. was, Ponomarey's belief that the - very fact that the USSR would not. acéept. him back again. is ‘ proof that they havé completely dissociated themselves. from him. According to Ponomarev, the contents of the CPSU: file on. Oswald will prove to the United States that Oswald was no responsibility of theirs.

KOLOBASHKIN stated that on the everng of Wednesday ,
11/27/63, he had gone to. the Helen drop and becanie quite concern- ed and apprehensive when he. determined that there had been nothing left there for him. He returned to the Helen drop
later .on the same evening and ascertained that no package had been left for him. He stated that in view of the assassina- tion of President KENNEDY, the Soviets. were extremely worried
about the fact that the informant had not left any package at the Helen drop as he had indicated he would, and felt that
there was possibly “something wrong."
NY 694-S* explained to KOLOBASHKIN that after having
_ gent the message to the Soviets earlier in the evening on 11/26/63, he had retuimed to his home and awaited ἃ message from the Soviets which he never did receive. ‘Informant stated that for that reason, he felt that the Soviets, in view .of the general, tense situation, had decided not to go th the Helen drop on
the évening of 11/27/63. ‘The informant stated that he therefore - waited until the evening. of November 28th, when he again sent
a message by "walkie talkie! to the Soviets indicating that he would. utilize-the Hélen drop on the evening of Novembér 29th.
He stated that.-he δά: again awaited acknowledgement of this signal later on the evening of November 28th, but had? received no message from the Soviets,
KOLOBASHKIN. stated that again on November 28th, the Soviets had received the informant's signal “Loud and clear", and dgain had gone to the area of the informant's home whére they sent him a message by Nwalkie talkie" indicating that they had ‘received his message.
In discussing this situation, informant and KOLOBASKHIN agreed. that there was apparently something "mechanically -wrong" with their "walkie talkie" operation and that apparently it involved reception in the-informant!s home area of Soviet Wwalkie talkie" signals. It was agreed that the “walkie talkie" operation be tested oniiWednesday, evening, 12/11/63, at 10:00. p.m.
ΕἸ
and again on. Thursday morning, ayiases, ‘at 10:00. a.m. , when the Soviets would go to the informant's rieighborhood and attempt to send him a message by "walkie talkie". It was agreed that whether or not the informant recéived.said signais he would go.
to the areaoof the Soviets" headquarters at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. —
night, 12/12/63, and send a ‘message indicating whether or not: he had received. the aforementioned. signals fron. the ‘Soviets, 7
in the event that the, informarit does not keceive the Soviet signals, it was agreed that should. the Soviets find. it _Recessary to contact him again. in December; the informant would’ ‘ be notified to that effect by radio from Moscow, It was further
| agree at in any event, thé informant and KOLOBASHKIN meet
again at the Armstrong rendezvous on Wednesday, 1/6/64.
KOLOBASHKIN then asked NY 694-88 whether the informant - retained his radio.at one placé or @hethér he "moved. it avourid", NY 694-S* replied that he petiodically: moves the radio from place .to-place and that. at the -presént time it is "locked up tight’ in an office", KOLOBASHKIN repeatedly emphasized the necessity of security in. this. operation,, Stating that the Soviets: were constantly concerned about. the. fact that. "something might happen" to ‘the informant. τς
NY 694-S* assured ROLOBASHKIN that he oastantiy: 15. aware.

He told KOLOBASHKIN ‘that the informant's organization. was - Nexperienced, well trained and. well Aiséiplined” - that his potential successor "knew his stuff, and that although his ‘guecessor is highly trusted, he as-yet has no knowledge of the - precise nature of NY r 694-85: ‘operations .

DISCUSSION WITH a
HEAD OF THE IDEOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT,
| UNITED"PARTY OF THE SOCIALIST 4 ooh. REVOLUTION OF CUBA, NOVEMBER 1988, - Cur HWOSCOW, USSR _ So ον -- :
During December, 1963, a source, who has furnished reliable information in the past, advised as follows: ;
During late November, 1963, Cesar Escalante, Head of the Ideological Department, United Party of the Socialist Revolution of Cuba, met with a representative of the Communist Party, USA (CPUSA), while both were in Moscow, USSR.
The CPUSA representative took this occasion to complain to Cesar Escalante that while the literature of every type of renegade left group in the United States is able to get into- Cuba, the CPUSA has- been unsuccessful in - getting its literature into Cuba inspite of all its efforts to do.so. The CPUSA has tried direct shipments, shipments through Canada and through Prague, Czechoslovakia, but nothing seems to work, The CPUSA representative stated that he did not believe that it was the result of United States Government action in withholding this literature because the literature of the anti-Soviet, anti-CPUSA, and pro-Chinese groups gets through without trouble. Escalante did not answer this complaint directly, but stated that he would check into this matter upon his return to Cuba and find out why CPUSA literature is not getting into Cuba,
Next the CPUSA representative brought up the matter of what he termed "slanders" against the CPUSA to the effect that the CPUSA is not doing anything to aid Cuba in that country's difficulties as a result of the recent hurricane
editor of the SApublication "Mainstream," He registered

which devastated Cuba. He stated that certainly the CPUSA
was interested in Cuba and had been making a concerted drive
to render aid, The CPUSA representative exhibited a copy
of "The Worker," a publication of the CPUSA;, which contained
stories detailing the CPUSA relief drive. Then he and
Escalante discussed CPUSA-Cuban relations in general, during
which they agreed that these relationships were in need of .2 improvement. One of the subjects of/,foncern in this conver- με: Sation was the position of Beatricg Johnson, Havana, Cuna, yen iin ad
correspondent for "The Worker" and ‘official spokesman for --Ὦ-: the CPUSK“in Cuba, who has“béen experiencing a great deal
of difficulty in Cuba obtaining cooperation.
The next topic of conversation was the need to improve communications between the CPUSA and the United Party of the Socialist Revolution of Cuba, While Escalante could not offer any method to improve contacts between the two Parties, he did suggest that communications from the CPUSA

While Escalante also SURG SECT SEL communications could be sent to Canada and then direct to Cuba, he considered communication via Prague to be preferable, Also, communica- tions in the other direction, from Cuba to the CPUSA, should foliow the same route,
Escalante inquired regarding Josepif North, former correspondent for "The Worker!t.in Havana and currently _ Cube
a complaint about the manner in which North had left Cuba, us Escalante stated that when North left Cuba, he had not
advised them that he was not returning to Cuba, The CPUSA representative answered that North would have lost his passport and perhaps his United States citizenship if he had not
returned to the United States when he did, and in fact had
just beaten the deadline for his return: by one day when he

CANCELLATION OF LOAN TO GHANA BY THE PEOPLES REPUBLIC OF CHINA
During December, 1963, a source, who has furnished reliable information in the past, advised as follows:
During November, 1963, members of the Central Committees of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) and the CP of Czechoslovakia cited the following example of the lengths to which the CP of China is going in its dispute with the CPSU and those countries of the socialist camp who side with the CPSU in this dispute. -
According to these sources, the Peoples Republic of China was recently preparing to give to the nation of Ghana a loan of ten million dollars, which loan was to be without interest. The purpose of the loan was to enable Ghana to. ᾿ establish a modern publishing house with all the: necessary - equipment to turn out modern publications, The entire deal was all set and the papers were all prepared and only the Signing remained. The Chinese delegation arrived in Ghana and just prior to the actual signing of the papers extending the loan, the Chinese asked where Ghana intended to obtain the printing equipment, They answered that they intended to purchase the equipment from the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) since this country makes the best printing equipment, Upon learning this, the Chinese cancelled the agreement and called off the entire negotiation.

GS
In mid-December, 1963, a source, who has furnished reliable information in the past, advised as follows:
‘Henry Winston, a Vice Chairman of the Communist Party, USA (CP, USA), now temporarily residing in ‘Moscow, USSR, is currently in the process of making arrangements relating to his return to the United States. Winston, it is to be noted, must be back in the United States by March 9, 1964, to participate in pre-trial discussions and examina— - gion related to-a.civil action which he has présently pending against the United States Government. ἡ While Gus--Hall,. General Secretary of the CP, USA was of ‘the opinion that Winston should return some weeks or perhaps: even: a month before his scheduled pre-trial discussions and examination in order to cover ‘any possible change in legal arrangements, Winston feels there is no such need and there will be no change in arrangements. Therefore, he will not depart from the USSR any earlier than necessary and at the earliest ᾿" such departure will probably not be before the end of February, 1964,
